If you’re a fan of the CBS’s hit sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” (2005-2014) you might recall Barney – played by Neil Patrick Harris – using the disguised pickup line for his not so subtle stage exit when trying to connect his friend Ted on another failed dating adventure… but, in our case: Have ya met… The MPN?
The Motoring Podcast Network (MPN) is part of the many offerings and services provided by Gran Touring Motorsports (GTM). As Clubhouse members you all know that: GTM started as a social group of car enthusiasts in 2014 and has expanded into all sorts of motorsports disciplines and wants to share their experiences with YOU!
We’ve always liked to get together and have a great time – but years of racing, wrenching and motorsports experience bring together a top-notch collection of knowledge, stories and information which has morphed into an unending amount of ideas and projects around GTM Headquarters.
Wait… We have a website?
When was the last time you checked out our digital magazine? Did you know we’ve put out 31 Issues since The Clubhouse split off from the magazine?
In addition to all the web work, the MPN offers services like audio production, editing, live-streaming, web hosting and design, journalism and much more!
But one of their cornerstones has and will remain, podcasting, bringing together the talents of Crew Chief Eric (Break/Fix Podcast), William Ross (The Ferrari Marketplace), Jon Summers (The Motoring Historian) and many others providing an unmatched repository of stories about cool careers, awesome people, along with unusual and inspiring histories from all over the autosphere. #varietyshow
With over 400 episodes (and growing) you can tune into all of the MPN shows by way of their flagship podcast series Break/Fix, available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube. From wrench turners to artists, authors, racers, designers and everyone in between!
The MPN has also partnered with the IMRRC, SAH and ACO USA to produce The History of Motorsports Series and Evening With A Legend shows on the network. These series also include presentations remastered from the annual Argetsinger Symposium on Motorsports history. Did you know you can watch this years Argetsinger Symposium live on our Twitch?
All of these shows are deep dives into history focusing on over 100 years of racing. New episodes drop twice weekly for your enjoyment.
